4. Friendships Need Maintenance
Great relationships fade if you don’t put in time and energy. Take care of your people.
5. Money Matters – Learn to Handle It

6. Your Time and Energy Are Precious
Learn to say no. You don’t owe anyone constant access to your time or attention.
7. Health Is the Foundation of Everything
You only get one body—take care of it with sleep, movement, and real food. It pays off later.
8. Don’t Wait for Motivation
Motivation rarely shows up on its own. Take action first—motivation will follow.
